November 2020 HotPlay Convertible Note

On November 2, 2020, HotPlay Enterprise Limited (“HotPlay”, which is a party, together with its stockholders, to a Share Exchange Agreement dated July 21, 2020, with the Company (as amended to date, the “Exchange Agreement”)), loaned Monaker Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “Monaker”, “we” and “us”), $350,000 and on or around November 5, 2020, HotPlay loaned the Company an additional $50,000 (collectively, the “November 2020 Loans”).

The November 2020 Loans were made pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. The Exchange Agreement and related transactions are described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 2020 and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2020 (as to the first amendment thereto).

The November 2020 Loans were evidenced by a Convertible Promissory Note dated effective November 3, 2020, in the amount of $400,000 (the “November 2020 HotPlay Note”).

HotPlay previously advanced the Company (a) $300,000 under the terms of a substantially similar convertible promissory note on September 1, 2020, as disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2020, (b) $700,000 under the terms of a substantially similar convertible promissory note on September 18, 2020, as disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2020; and (c) $1,000,000 under the terms of a substantially similar convertible promissory note on September 30, 2020, as disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2020.

The advances were, and the entry into the November 2020 HotPlay Note was, a required condition to the Exchange Agreement, under which HotPlay was required to loan us $1,000,000 on or before August 31, 2020, which date was mutually agreed to be extended through September 18, 2020, which payment has been received, and is required to loan us an additional $1,000,000 (each a “Subsequent Loan”, and together with the initial loan, the “HotPlay Loans”), on September 30, 2020 (which payment was made as described above), and on the 15th day of each calendar month thereafter (each a “Required Lending Date”), through the date of closing of the Exchange Agreement. To date, HotPlay has loaned us an aggregate of $2,400,000 (when including the $400,000 in loans described above).

The November 2020 HotPlay Note and the Convertible Promissory Notes entered into to evidence the other HotPlay Loans (collectively, the “HotPlay Notes”) have an interest rate of 1% per annum.

The HotPlay Notes are automatically forgiven by HotPlay in the event the Exchange Agreement is terminated:

(a) by written agreement of the parties thereto;

(b) by HotPlay (and its stockholders) if the closing has not occurred on or before the required date set forth in the Exchange Agreement (currently November 30, 2020);

(i) HotPlay has not completed the acquisition of (A) 49% of the Class A shares of the capital stock of HotPlay (Thailand) Company Limited (“HP Thailand”); and (B) (x) not less than 90% of the voting, and (y) 95% of the economic and liquidation rights associated with, HP Thailand through a preferred share structure by November 15, 2020;

(ii) a share exchange agreement entered into with certain stockholders and debt holders of Axion Ventures, Inc. (“Axion”) has been terminated before closing; or

(iii) the closing has not occurred on or before November 30, 2020, unless the failure of the closing to have occurred is attributable to a failure on the part of the Company;

(d) by the Company if HotPlay (x) is not able to obtain audited and interim financial statements in the form required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (y) does not supply all of the information required for the Company to file its initial proxy statement to seek approval of among other things, the Exchange Agreement, by November 15, 2020;

(e) by the Company, if there is a material adverse effect on HotPlay or any schedule delivered by HotPlay is found to be materially misleading or conflict with any prior written or oral statement delivered to the Company; or

(f) by the Company, if any representations or warranties made by HotPlay or its stockholders in the Exchange Agreement are found to be materially inaccurate or any covenants are breached.

Alternately, if the Exchange Agreement is terminated:

(a) by HotPlay or its principal stockholder (as applicable) because a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction issues a final non-appealable order, or takes any other action having the effect of, permanently restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (a “Government Action”);

(b) by HotPlay if any event occurs that makes it impossible to satisfy a condition precedent to the Exchange Agreement (including, but not limited to any termination of the Axion exchange agreement);

(d) by HotPlay if any representations or warranties made by the Company in the Exchange Agreement are found to be materially inaccurate or any covenant of the Company is breached; or by the Company in connection with a Government Action or any event occurs that makes it impossible to satisfy a condition precedent to the Exchange Agreement (including, but not limited to any termination of the Axion exchange agreement)(except as discussed above in connection with events which result in the automatic forgiveness of the HotPlay Notes),

then outstanding principal amount of the HotPlay Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.

In the event the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange close, it is anticipated that the HotPlay Notes will be forgiven as intracompany loans.

If the Company fails to deliver the shares due upon a conversion within five business days, or the Company enters into a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, then HotPlay can declare the entire amount of the notes due and payable (provided the notes are automatically due upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy events), and such note will accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum until paid in full.

The foregoing description of the November 2020 HotPlay Note above is subject to and qualified in its entirety by, the form of November 2020 HotPlay Note, attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference in its entirety.

Amendment to Revolving Monaco Trust Note

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2019, on December 9, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note with the Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust, of which Donald P. Monaco is the trustee and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Monaco Trust”), in the amount of up to $2,700,000 (the “Revolving Monaco Trust Note”).

The amount owed pursuant to the Revolving Monaco Trust Note accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum (18% upon the occurrence of an event of default). The Revolving Monaco Trust Note contains standard and customary events of default.

On January 29, 2020, as reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Revolving Trust Note with the Monaco Trust, to extend the maturity date of such note from February 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020 (the “First Note Amendment”). No other changes were made to such note as a result of such amendment.

On March 27, 2020, as reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Revolving Trust Note with the Monaco Trust, to extend the maturity date of such Revolving Monaco Trust Note to December 1, 2020 (the “Second Note Amendment”). No other changes were made to such note as a result of such amendment.

On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Revolving Trust Note with the Monaco Trust, to extend the maturity date of such Revolving Monaco Trust Note to February 28, 2021 (the “Third Note Amendment”). No other changes were made to such note as a result of such amendment.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information in Item 1.01 above under the heading “November 2020 HotPlay Convertible Note”, including, but not limited to, the description of such HotPlay November 2020 Note and loan, is incorporated into this Item 2.03 in its entirety by reference.

The information in Item 1.01 above under the heading “Amendment to Revolving Monaco Trust Note” regarding the Third Note Amendment is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03 in its entirety.

As of the date of this report, the Revolving Monaco Trust Note has a balance of $2,032,592 and the amount remaining under the note of $667,408, can be accessed by the Company on a revolving basis, at any time, prior to the maturity date of the note, with the approval of the Monaco Trust.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The issuance of the November 2020 HotPlay Note is intended to be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient confirmed that it was an “accredited investor”, and the recipient acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

If converted in full (without factoring in accrued interest), the November 2020 HotPlay Note would convert into an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Securities Law Compliance.

(f)

No “Bad Actor” Disqualification Events.
